Just £250 for a portable PC that can run Windows may seem like an attractive idea, but our experience did not back up that proposition. Toshiba has used a cheap and slow processor to hit both price point and thermal design constraints, making a tablet tha...

Fulll Windows 8.1, expandable memory, reasonable price
On the chunky side, not as fast as it should be, less than full HD display
It's nice to see full-fat Windows 8.1 in a compact package but the Encore's sluggish performance often makes it frustrating to use, and a stylus like the one on the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 would have made it easier to navigate programmes which aren't op...
Reasonable performance, Good connectivity, Runs full Windows 8.1
Mediocre screen, Average battery life, Screen too small for full Windows apps
The Encore isn't a bad Windows tablet by any means, and there is something intriguing about having a usable Windows 8.1 PC in such a small and light form factor. But here's the problem: As a tablet it's going up against devices as light, powerful and ver...
Compact, runs full Windows 8.1, Office 2013 apps included, all-day battery life
Occasionally unresponsive, few I/O ports, small screen makes desktop difficult to use

Portable size, Fullfat Windows 8.1, Reasonable price, Expandable storage
Disappointing screen resolution, Small size makes using desktop applications difficult, Fat, uninspiring design, Some apps sluggish
The Toshiba Encore is probably the most portable way to use full Windows 8.1, but while its small screen size makes it easy to carry, it also makes using traditional desktop apps very difficult. It's handy for social networking, but don't expect it to rep...
If Microsoft wish to enter the smaller tablet market and make a serious presence they need to make them alot smaller and alot better in terms of performance. Especially considering if you're after a basic tablet then there are a number of better Android ...
Abstract: Toshiba launched the 8-inch Encore tablet at IFA 2013, featuring an AutoBrite display with 1280 x 800p resolution. From our experience, the screen was sharp, the colours were bright and the viewing angles good at 170-degrees. It isn't the Full HD resoluti...
